Tinfoil Helmet Study
The man at the Corner, the loony-sage, says, / "A head swathed in tinfoil is safe from the rays / that The Government sends out to mess with our minds." / But a study by MIT scientists finds / That your beanie does not from all spectra protect / and for some frequencies has the opposite effect. / Which waves, these? The ones that The Government uses! / The helmed are MORE vuln’rable, thus, to abuses! / Is this paranoid ranting, all nonsense and stuff? / Or perhaps a complex CIA double-bluff?
